Miraculously, the pumpjacks emerged unscathed: Baseball-sized hail took out a solar farm in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, on Friday. The hail shattered most of the panels on the 5.2-megawatt solar project, sparing an odd panel like missing teeth in a white smile.

There was a time when I didn’t like hail.
Divine will, or targetted? (spoof)
I’ve analyzed the pattern of the non-broken panels in the image and it forms a message when displayed in hexidecimal, coded back to ASCII.
The collective wisdom of the storm, for all of us to see, is “you dumbasses”.
(there’s a broken start to italics that my HTML won’t fix).
A blessing!
Baseball size at a velocity of 100 to 150 mph. Yikes, glad my Airstream wasn’t parked there.
So like is this climate change being bad for stuff supposed to fight climate change? Man, you fight climate change and it fights right back.
That’s why President Biden wants to block the sun–that will prevent the climate from changing, and bingo, no more hail.
You misspelled “son”. Hunter’s a good boy. Drugs are a corn-pop thing, man, and you’d better believe that that back in Scranton whoever brought drugs into the White House would get, you know, the thing. Where’s the pudding… oh wait, an 8 year old. Gotta check for clean hair (makes a beeline).
The photo is misleading. It’s been cropped to hide the burning Tesla to the bottom left and the burning wind turbine off in the distance.
“Fire can be your friend, you know!”
But Jeez, I must say that hail is right up there with the fires.
Is there no limit to what high CO2 levels can do?
Wuz IT insured?????
L – So, does anyone have a quote for hail insurance on a solar crop?
Just make that coverage mandatory and add the premiums
do to the cost of solar electricity.
Can the insurance industry kill the solar panel, puhleeze?
Get that Pablo dude on it.
Or Wilkinson.
Freelander?
Shoulda built a shed over top of them. I mean, how stupid are these climate change morans?
Here’s how to get some Trudeau or Biden money.
Patent a device that when it rains, the solar panels will rotate so the backside is exposed to the rain/hail. Install a thick plate on the backside to protect the panels.
I like it! It milks government money back my way instead of the other way, and I just know it’s going to take lotsa fossil fuels to build them thick plates! It’s a two-fer!
and they will blame climate change when bad idea meets reality.. Kind of funny really.. High summer, good times and old man winter gives them the finger anyway.. A complete loss as if your business burned down.. Insurance demands a fire code but these darlings get a pass..
More of the same grift.. Misguided mismanagement so they can blame either the climate or us for their failures.. More money please :)..

Count the broken units. Multiply by 7. Whoa! That’s a lotta years of bad luck!
Should they rebuild? [shake, shake, shake] Magic 8-Ball sez…. NO
Oh the horror! Think off all those poor snow cleaners who won’t have employment next winter because their jobs have become redundant until they replace the subsidy harvesters er, ah, solar panels
